"The author assembles and evaluates a remarkable network of evidence in documenting his story of early Northern Atlantic sea-faring, including the work of Portuguese navigators and fisherman; Bristol port records which bear on the nature of long westward voyages. He sifts out, from the legendary Norse and Icelandic sagas, what can be treated with some confidence as records of historical fact. He draws upon contemoporary archaeological investigations of Norse settlements in Greenland ;and the still mysterious settlement unearthed at Bell Isle" from the jacket flap.
